From England

From the Eclectic Conference we have the winner of a 1st round match with Anekdoten

From England

VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR!!!!

Vegas has installed Genesis as a 10 vote favorite. Can VDGG pull the upset. Yes they can, but will they? We shall see

On vocals alone I'd pick Genesis. That I prefer their compositions as well is secondary.

Too easy, Van der Graaf. But I'm pretty sure Genesis will win this.

For me not an easy call, both are on my play rotation pretty evenly. I've listened to Genesis since the dawn of time - that would be for the past 40 years. VDGG is a much more recent discovery. I guess I'll go Genesis as they have been an old friend for a long time...

VDGG... for the upset!

Not everything VDGG did clicked with me.. but that Genesis clip is one of the VERY few things they did that did click with me.

Love both but Genesis. It seems too early for these two giants to be facing each other. Either one would destroy Rennaisance or Cynic that are up against each other.

VDGG for me, like both bands, Genesis at least until Lamb, but VDGG connect more.

Godbluff > Lamb
Pawn Hearts > SEBTP
Foxtrot > H to He
Nursery Cryme > The Least We Can Do
Still Life > Trespass

Love both, but VdGG are cooler, and they have more albums that I absolutely love than Genesis, even if I'm still not much of a Pawnhearts fan.

that is the part of this I think has worked well...  this is now... rather than both of these bands destroying 'lesser' bands ..meanwhile those two lesser bands are off fighting each other.  Besides these two really only faced each other a round earlier than they would have under normal seeding. VDGG would have been a 3 or 4 seed and facing one of the big heavies (1's or 2's) in the sweet 16, just a round later than they are now.

hmm..  liking it.  Could we really have a true battle of heavies.. well at least the first close one of the tournament. It looks that way early.

VDGG easily, though I cannot say I am a huge fan of theirs either.

Well, it's a question of when the Genesis fanboys turn up. LOL  This band can push Yes all the way and trounce Beatles on this forum.  Don't think VDGG can hold out long enough, but it'll be interesting.  By the way, voted Genesis. Tongue
